Offering improved ergonomics and performance, the PT140 features enhanced finger indexing memory pads, Posi-Traction slide serrations and recessed magazine release, all weighing in at a mere 23.5 ounces.
Ten rounds in the magazine, one in the chamber, and the lightweight frame makes this lifesaver a must for law enforcement and anyone concerned about personal safety. The double action only Taurus Millennium Pro carries three safety features including the manual safety lever, trigger block mechanism and a firing pin block. The Taurus Security System is included at no extra charge for that added peace of mind.Specifications

The one thing that needs to be made clear is that calling this a DAO is misleading. A more accurate description would be to call it a conventional Single Action semiauto with a restrike capability.
This pistol lacks any way to safely decock it. When you load the pistol, it is cocked; when you fire the pistol and it cycles, it is cocked. The only way to decock it is to drop the hammer by pulling the trigger.
Yes, if you happened to have a bad round in the chamber that failed to fire the first time, you can pull the trigger again and it will cock and drop the hammer - giving a restrike capability - but in the real world how often has anyone really seen a .40S&W round that will fail to fire initially and then will fire on a restrike??
Of course this is not the only so-called "DAO" semiauto like this, but it is probably the most obvious in that it has the exposed hammer rather than an internal striker.

I love this gun. Shoots great for a compact. Fit and finish is better than I expected. 80 rounds or cheap ammo through it and no problem. Sights took some getting used to, but now I'm grouping about a fist size at 15 yards. Haven't tried carrying it yet. Thanks Bud.

Awesome pistol. Had trouble with the sights, changed them to 3 dot, Its a whole new gun. I carry it all the time in a fanny pack. Great little gun for the price. Shot 500 rds NO problems.

Awesome little gun, I carry mine every day. Great little gun for a reasonable price. I've put over 1000 rounds through it without a single problem. Plus if something does break Taurus will fix it or replace it for free. Some people complain about the sights but I've had no problem, it's a lot more accurate then I thought it would be. Must be the shooter more than the gun. But like the first guy said, after a number of rounds it can be a little rough on the hands.

This is a Great Little Pistol! I was intrigued by it's small size with a 10+1 capacity. Suprisingly, it is very easy to manage this pistol. It doesn't have the dreaded, excessive "muzzle flip" that I had become used to with compact auto's in larger calibers. Taurus has really done their homework on this series. You can rapid-fire this gun with accuracy.
I used to think of Taurus as a company that only made copies of Smith & Wesson revolvers. Things have changed for the better! I now own a PT145 Millenium & a 2.5 inch Judge Revolver. Fit & Finish is excellent & the pricing can't be beat. I have recommended the New Taurus Pistols to my friends. I am very impressed with what they have to offer.

Unbeatable gun for the money. I've put well over 100 rds. through mine with no problems. Not crazy about the straight-eight sights, and can't find anyone that makes night sights for the Gen III with dovetail front sight. The DA/SA trigger is awesome with a clean, crisp pull. Excellent gun for the bedside drawer but slim enough for CC with the right holster. I highly recommend it for the value.

Awesome pistol. Taurus has really turned it around in my opinion over the past couple years. Gun is more balanced than the XD40 and is slimmer to CC. No issues after many rounds. Lifetime warranty as well.

Gun is built very nicely and solid. Looks and shoots great. Comes with the best warranty in the industry. Just got it today and have already put about 100 rounds through it, not a single glitch. Thanks Buds,,,
